Abstract
Like faculty in most colleges and universities, professors at the University of Rhode Island (URI) have been troubled by their students' performances on tasks which require reasoning and problem-solving, thinking and creating. Although URI students seem capable of memorizing every piece of information which comes their way, many appear unable to apply course material in any manner which might be called critical or creative thinking.
